It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top. + +## Changes + +This release includes a few minor fixes and improvements. Merry Christmas Everyone! + +### Lemmy + +- [Provide health endpoint for pictrs at `/pictrs/healthz`](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5224) +- [Allow bypassing image proxy for specific domains](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5223) (can be configured via config value `pictrs.proxy_bypass_domains`, and `i.imgur.net` is bypassed by default) + [API returns content of removed comments for admins](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5245) + +### Lemmy-UI + +- Updated translations + +## Upgrade instructions + +There are no breaking changes with this release. + +Follow the upgrade instructions for [ansible](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/blob/main/UPGRADING.md) or [docker](https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_docker.html#updating). + +If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our [support forum](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) or on the [Matrix Chat](https://matrix.to/#/!OwmdVYiZSXrXbtCNLw:matrix.org). + +## Thanks to everyone + +We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute. + +## Support development + +We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over five years. This is largely thanks to support from [NLnet foundation](https://nlnet.nl/), as well as [donations from individual users](https://join-lemmy.org/donate). + +If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider [donating to support its development](https://join-lemmy.org/donate). A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers. + +- [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/Lemmy) (preferred option) +- [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/lemmy) +- [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/dessalines) +- [Cryptocurrency](https://join-lemmy.org/crypto)
